Lovely watches. It would be good to hear some more in-depth thoughts on the individual watches, such as the point about the hands on the AM being too similar in length. That's the sort of thing that only becomes clear after wearing a watch for a while. Do you find that the greenish tint of the Explorer indices undermine its look? Is the rivet bracelet less versatile than a normal bracelet?
Thanks for your considered comment. I have videos up on all the watches individually, so please check those out. The rivet bracelets are extremely flexible and comfortable. It's an aesthetic choice, but one that i appreciate. I hadn't considered the tint of the lume on the Explorer, so I'd say no, it doesn't undermine the look. If you want something that looks like a 1016, but don't have, it don't want to spend £20,000 on a Rolex then this is a great option. Thanks for watching and commenting
Have 3 of the 36mm Smiths…Gilt Everest, Expedition, Commando plus 2 larger 40mm Smiths…29B and Everest. Like them all for their highbeat movements and good quality cases, hands, sapphire crystals and dials. I have no problems with the bracelets but understand others do.
I've also heard some complaints about the bracelets, but mostly about them being hard to reattach if you remove them. I don't plan on doing that so not too worried. But i can't imagine it's harder than fitting the strapcode bracelet to the sarb017, that was a real pig to fit!!!
I also enjoy my prs29a a lot. It's one of the newer selitta versions but it's still +4/5 a day so I'm satisfied. And I really like winding it every morning.
That's a good point. I also really enjoy winding them. It's kind of calming and satisfying. I'm glad your enjoying your PRS29A. They are great watches. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@jlg395 From empty I think it's like 30-40 times. If I do it every day it's around 20. don't worry about overwinding the selitta. You can't unless you REALLY crank it with hatred.
With the eta's about 30 turns is enough from fully stopped. It starts to tighten up as you go so you have plenty of warning when you reach max. I've no fears of over winding. Once it's running i give it a few winds at night and a few more in the morning and they keep running
